The Brewers are just 3-7 and will hope to reset after the break. Their starting pitching has been almost to their standard, but they aren’t hitting for power, and their bullpen has not been able to hold leads. Corbin Burns, Friday’s starter, has been exceptional lately. Three premium starts in his last three appearances, 2 runs given up in 20 innings, all packaged with 25 strikeouts. What more can you ask for? Burns does not usually need very much bullpen support.

The Rockies are on a roll, winning 4 of 6 at home, but let’s not forget that they are on the road on Friday. Whats the difference? The Rockies are 15-27 on the road, and .233/.632 BA/OPS compared to .287/.816 at home. Friday’s starter Senzatela (3-5, 4.95) has just returned from the IL and it isn’t his first time he has been injured this season. While he has some effective starts, 3 or 4 runs over 5 innings is a more common line. He can struggle early and has not pitched well on the road this season.

The Brewers with Burns on the mound are a huge favorite. Considering their offense lately, Colorado on the run line would have some potential. Senzatela has been pretty uneven this year and after his return from the IL likely won’t pitch for length. Colorados’ relievers, while acceptable recently, are still one of the worst in the league. I think Milwaukee will get its licks in on Friday. Take the Brewers on the run line at – 1 ½. 8 stars
